19 forum posts | Hi, I was an avid reader of ME and MEW from about 1975 to the mid nineties, I used to have an ML10 and want a replacement! I have several 3D printers and a new Axminster wood turning lathe, I’m a member of the Highlands Woodturning Club who normally meet in Munlochy just North of Inverness. Last time I was reading ME the internet was not quite here - so this is a new experience |

19 forum posts | Ah yes, Balintore, bit further south, and yes the ML10 with roller bearings, aka the Speed 10, was very nice indeed, mine was a 1976 model, purchased from an Engineering Supplies emporium in Scarborough. At the time I was desirous of a Unimat as my interest was 'watchmaking', but I was persuaded to get a bigger, more capable machine. It was a good choice, as I was at University in Nottingham, I used to pass the site of Myford Mecca in Beeston every day. Tremendously sad that the land was worth more than the business. |
